Harbour-side history, reconstructed cities and tranquilising nature are some of the reasons people fall in love with Poland. One of the greatest examples of post-war reconstruction, its cities present a fascinating collection of landmarks and neighbourhoods. Excellent hospitality of the locals along with unique beverages to complement the tranquillity of nature, you can't ask for anything better on a getaway.

The southern border of Poland is home to the Carpathian Mountains, which is Europe's second largest mountain range after the Alps. Providing a stark contrast to the mountainous landscape are white sandy beaches and seaside towns on the Baltic coast, which are tucked away in a 19th century world.

Visit Poland with ICICI Lombard's Travel Insurance plan and get lost in towns and monuments that survived the World War II (WWII) and beautiful sandy beaches alongside the Baltic Sea.

Things to Do in Poland

The cities of Poland, reconstructed after the WWII, reflect modern urbaneness. Beyond the urban centres are forests, mountains and beaches to explore. From Warsaw to Gdansk, from Carpathians to Baltic Sea, here are the top things to do in Poland:

Sailing

North-eastern Poland is home to various interlinked rivers and lakes. During spring, boaters from all around the country sail in Lake Sniardwy or Lake Niegocin or across the Krutynia River. The towns of Gizycko and Mikolajki are flocked with tourists and locals during spring.

Carousing

Although cities like Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw are renowned as the country's clubbing capitals, but there is nothing like the Kazimierz district in Krakow to beat this sport. The city was devastated and neglected after WWII but a surge in bars, clubs and cafes have repopulated and transformed the city into a lively one.

National Parks

The Bialowieza National Park is home to the European Bison, a species that supposedly became extinct in 1919. The park is also Europe's largest original old growth forest. The trees have been undisturbed for centuries. There are also several other national parks that are worth visiting in Poland.

Skiing, Hiking or Biking in the Carpathian Mountains

In south Poland across the Polish borders of Germany and Ukraine, the Carpathians stand tall. The Karkonosze range is ideal for biking, Zakopane for skiing and Bieszczady for hiking.

Mesmerising Gdansk

Gdansk is one of the most beautiful seaports that you will witness in your life. A link for Poland and rest of the world in middle ages, it was also the centre of Poland's anti-communist movement, the tales of which are still told in the European Solidarity Centre.

Witness Auschwitz-Birkenau

German army in WWII turned Poland into a heinous genocide ground where thousands of Jews and other groups were killed mercilessly. The extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau was later converted into a museum and then a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of the camp has been preserved as it was during the war and offers an insight into the tragic history of Poland.

Museums in the Capital

Warsaw is home to the best museums in Poland. The Warsaw Rising Museum has been surprising visitors for a few years now with its sound, light and portrayal of city's uprising against the Germans during WWII. The Museum of the History of Polish Jews is equally mesmerising and an entertaining journey through time.

Smita Bhatt

While buying an international travel insurance plan online, the ICICI Lombard executive provided me proper guidance, support and information that helped me to take an informed decision for my travel plan. I travelled to Poland last year. Although I didn't claim anything, yet the ease of buying and assistance offered by ICICI Lombard is worth appreciating.

Mr & Mrs. Shukla

We wanted to relocate to Gdansk for a couple of years, so we wanted to spend a month there before making the final call. ICICI Lombard's response was quick and the executive listened to our queries patiently and answered our questions professionally. The rates quoted were also very competitive and adaptable to our situation.
